What Delta-Therm does

Delta-Therm Corporation, operating as a brand of Innovair Solutions Inc. since 1968, engineers, manufactures, and assembles electric heating cable systems and associated control products for industrial, commercial, and residential applications across North America. Its product portfolio is organized around three core heating technologies: self-regulating parallel circuit cables (series PSB, MSB, HSB, SR-NA, SR-MA, SR-SH+) that automatically adjust power output at every point along the cable based on ambient temperature; constant wattage cables (BPL, DPT) for steady high-output applications including exposures up to 425°C; and series resistance / mineral insulated cables (ELKM-AG-NA, ELK-MI, MI) for corrosive, hazardous, and high-stress environments. Adjacent lines cover floor warming (DTR, DWC-M, DWC-R, DWF-R, FHM), snow melting (DWS-T, TXLP1), and a suite of controls including GFEP panels and contactor panels. Differentiated product attributes include cut-to-length on-site installation, fluoropolymer insulation for chemical resistance, and Class I Division 1 hazardous-location and NSF potable-water certifications.
